Re: Priest race for PVP

Each is pretty good, but I think that if I had a choice I would definately pick Night elf, even if they are sissy forest dwellers.

Dwarves get immunity from poisons and diseases, that can mitigate a huge chunk of dk damage, and prevent rogues from slowing you to death, or doing extra damage. But as a healer you have very good means to prevent, heal, or cure those effects. So to me this isn't as good unless you plan on relying on it, but that would be fail anyway.

Humans get a free trinket which with some of the amazing loot that ive seen could be 30% speed increase as an escape or 100 int if gemmed right. which is alot of other stat bonuses as well.

And finally NElf, Id pick this race for the mana drinking stealth it can provide, and the cast break it gives. Its not often but if you did get a free second to drink eat in stealth it could win at least one match. But the serious killer here is stealthing when your about to get cc'd. It doesn't stall much for time, but if its a caster there gonna have to run over to break you out of it anyway, then you can use your shorter range fear to buy you even more time, for whatever.

just so you know priests can't remove poisons or bleeds making it a verrrryyyy usefull tool against rogues (especialy mutilate) and arm's warriors

and drinking or eating breaks shadowmeld (almost 100% sure)

and all you get from being human in pvp is a wasted trinket that you only picked up for the resil

Re: Priest race for PVP

As a level 80 Shadow priest, i can confrim, you can no longer drink / eat in shadowmeld. Shadowmeld is pretty crap, the stealth rateing on it is SO LOW. Not to mention... u run behind that post, shadowmeld.. what is your enemy going to do? Follow you... and see ur pathetic shadowmeld stealth rateing and start hammering you again. It really is over-rated.
Stoneform is FTW though.

Re: Priest race for PVP

Dwarf-Stoneform makes imue too poison
Human-still need pvp trinket
NE-Shadowmeld as priest is not helpfull really, its the melly you struggle with and they will see you at once becouse you stand next too them and if not you going shadowmeld will just make it easy for them too get too you (unless they are 100% retarded and dident see where you were )
